What to pack in your hospital bag?

As you edge closer to your due date and start packing your hospital bag, you might not be sure what bits and pieces you really need. Most hospitals will give you a general list which will include their policy on nappies and wipes – some hospitals will provide these things, others request you provide them yourself.

However, we asked our Facebook community to help us out with the things they could not have lived without in their hospital bag. Whether it was for comfort, entertainment or just to make you feel a little bit more at home, here is what you came up with!

With my first child, I seemed to be constantly packing and repacking and didn’t have my ‘finished’ hospital bag until 2 weeks before my due date. With my second, I was completely packed by 30 weeks and as it was, I had an accidental home birth (but that’s another blog post!) and didn’t need any of it.
